I just ran into this issue too wondering why tasksel-data (and its Depends/
Recommends) got installed.
So hereby a +1 on changing it to ``admin/optional``.

FTP Team,

On Sun Oct 29, 2023, I reported:

Some more dependencies:
Package: tasksel-data
Depends: tasksel (= 3.73)
Recommends: laptop-detect
Priority: important

Package: laptop-detect
Recommends: dmidecode
Priority: optional

Package: dmidecode
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34)
Priority: important

So a side effect of not installing tasksel and tasksel-data by default
is that laptop-detect would not be installed either.

It's not clear to me why dmidecode is Priority: important,
but that's a discussion for another day.

Thank you!

It's probably safe since pkgsel's postinst features:

if db_get pkgsel/run_tasksel && [ "$RET" = true ]; then
log "starting tasksel"
db_progress INFO pkgsel/progress/tasksel
apt-install tasksel  # ensure tasksel is installed

FTP Team,

#855151 - tasksel: should not be Priority: important
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=855151

#954090 - override: tasksel:admin/optional
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=954090

However, tasksel is still installed by default because of the following:
$ apt-cache show tasksel-data | grep -E '^(Package|Depends|Priority)'
Package: tasksel-data
Depends: tasksel (= 3.73)
Priority: important

Please change tasksel-data from:
admin/important
to:
admin/optional

Thank you!
